Donatella Tampieri, MD

Primary Axis: 
Neurosciences
Research Focus: 

Her major areas of expertise are in interventional Neuroradiology (endovascular treatment of intracranial aneurysm, arterio-venous malformations, dural arterio-venous fistula and pre-operatory embolization of tumors). The treatment of back and cervical spine pain represents also a large component of her activities including nerve and facets block and epidural injections, and vertebroplasty. In Diagnostic Neuroradiology her major expertise is in epilepsy and brain tumors, using fully all the most advanced imaging applications including tractography (DTI). Dr Tampieri practice Neuroradiology in all McGill affiliated teaching Hospitals including the Montreal Children Hospital. My research interests are the following: 1) Endovascular treatment of intracranial vascular malformations and aneurysms; 2) Diagnosis of epilepsy mainly in patients with cortical dysplasia; 3) Spectroscopy in intracranial lesions; 4) Brain Perfusions Techniques; 5) Percutaneous treatment of spine and back pain.Cerebral Aneurysms, Arteriovenous Malformations, Epilepsy, Cortical Dysplasia, Neuroradiology, Endovascular Neurosurgery
